Terrified passengers on a London-bound flight froze in their seats as a crazed man ran through the aisle of the Qantas jet screaming: 'You will all die!'

Praying and yelling in a foreign language, the man threatened to kill himself and the passengers on the fully-laden jet several hours after it took off from Melbourne to fly to London via Hong Kong.

Flight attendants managed to jump on the man and restrain him as he threatened to open an emergency exit door, shouting: 'It is God's will'.

Passengers told of the flight of terror when they made calls to friends in Melbourne after the aircraft landed safely in Hong Kong and the deranged man was taken into custody.

'There were some very scared and upset passengers,' one woman, identifying herself only as Helen, told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper.

'He was praying in what was believed to be Hebrew and yelling out that he was going to kill himself and all the passengers would die,' said Helen, who had been sitting in Premium Economy.

'There was one lady that was quite upset. She moved into our cabin in Premium Economy because she said "I heard too much, I heard too much - I can't go back down there [into the main part of the cabin]".' Qantas

The aircraft had taken off from Melbourne shortly before midnight Australian time.

'The man had to be held down by crew members, who restrained him and sat him down in the front row of economy,' said another passenger. T

he raving man was handcuffed and curtains were placed around his seat, with two crew members sitting nearby for the rest of the flight.

A Qantas spokeswoman confirmed today that there had been a passenger 'became disruptive'.

“Qantas staff stop passenger’s death jump”

By Jennifer Lipman, October 7, 2010

SNIPPET: “According to an onlooker, he said: “I’m going to kill myself, you are all going to die, it will be God’s will.

He then began praying out loud and said: “What will be will be.”

The crew managed to restrain him and none of the 280 passengers were injured.

The passenger, believed to be a 23-yaer-old called Ariel, was taken to hospital in Hong Kong. He has apparently been complaining to hospital staff about the food.”

"Terrified passengers". Sounds like the terrorist accomplished his goal.

Other stories report the man’s first name as “Ariel” and say that he’s Israeli.

I would bet the paycheck it wasn’t Hebrew. Helen is now Helen-the-clueless.

I'm really getting tired of the Amish slurs. I keep thinking,
We're better than they are.

And then the slurs keep happening.

Praying in "what was believed to be Hebrew"?

What a load of crock. My bet is on Sudden Jihad Syndrome and that the man was an Ilsamic.

For Pete’s sake. When pressurized, the air pressure on the inward-opening door approaches one ton. I know of no one that can lift more than a ton. Not much of a danger.
